@edwardp,

AFAICS when a received message is marked as spam by user the header information reflect this, as highlighted below:

Did you see something similar for the sent message flagged as spam?

edwardp

@yojimbo274064400 No. It displayed Inbox with the account's address.

dalinar

@WildEnte they are all yahoo mail accounts, so it connects via imap ( I check vivaldi settings it is imap)

dalinar

@WildEnte and it happens to basically every mail I compose in Vivaldi mail and send out.. (end up in the all messages spam folder I mean, but not in a spam folder in yahoo web mail). I say basically because I'm not sure if it happens to every one ever.. but it seems like every one recently at least. I don't send emails too often. From memory before, I would say it didn't happen to every message before.. but it it would happen to any one discussing money.. well and the recent ones mostly discussed money or purchases or transfers.

dalinar

@WildEnte just to be clear.. although I'm sure you picked this up already, but maybe for anyone else reading this... the messages that go to All Messages : Spam, do not go to spam in yahoo web mail.

Also, it appears that when I mark messages as read in Vivaldi Mail it does not affect the read status in Yahoo web mail. I just logged into yahoo web mail and all the messages I've marked as read today, are unread there

dalinar

here are headers from the latest message that ended up in spam

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Message-Id: <172********.*********@yahoo.com>
From: **** <*****>
To: ****
Subject: Re: **** (does contain some keywords related to money)

@dalinar Where the subject matter related to money, it's possible that Yahoo's spam filtering could be trained to see that as potential spam, then placed it in the Spam folder.

WildEnte

@edwardp or rather not placed in the folder, just flagged as spam. All messages - spam lists every email that carries the spam flag, regardless of what folder it is in.

dalinar

@edwardp do you mean that yahoo will just place it in the Spam All Messages folder? isn't a vivaldi folder? it definitely doesn't place it in the Yahoo spam folder when you are logged in using their web mail. And it is not just this message, it is all the messages flagged as spam behaving that way... might be a few months ago there were some that also got into the yahoo webmail spam folder but i can't say for sure.. but definitely the last 20+ haven't... they just appear in the Spam All Messages folder

ok I have verified that i do have messages (on another vivaldi profile, using another yahoo account) that are both in the Spam All Messsages folder and the Yahoo webmail spam folder (note: I don't check that webmail for that account often, half the messages were from 2023 there.. the other half i didn't catch the dates of but probably not anything in the last months... so there's a possiblity it is some vivaldi bug in more recent versions than what I was using at the time) but what I say about the email address and profile I was talking about for the entire thread up into this paragraph stands, they don't show up there in the webmail spam folder just all messages vivaldi spam folder.

WildEnte

@dalinar no, the email apparently carries the spam flag. See

@WildEnte said in What is the BEST 3rd party spam service to use with Vivaldi that FULFILLS this ONE requirement?:

dalinar

@WildEnte ah, how can i see the flag? is there a way to get vivaldi to ignore it?

edwardp

@dalinar All Messages is in the Vivaldi Mail client. It duplicates what is in every account's folder (Inbox, Sent, Spam, Trash, etc.).

When Yahoo's/AOL's filtering sees something as spam, or perhaps the message has the characteristics of it, it should go in the account's Spam folder and you should see the message in both this Spam folder and in All Accounts/Spam.

Once a message is deleted from any of the account's folders, the same message is also deleted from the corresponding folder in All Accounts.

dalinar

@edwardp it's not just money, here are more examples of what is in the vivaldi spam folder. these are just because they are recent messages i received. pretty much everything is ending up in there. that's because I was just changing passwords and stuff

but it seems really strange that every single email should be flagged as spam, and also how stupid does the spam filter have to be to mark messages sent from yahoo to a yahoo account as spam, like these ones:

Unexpected sign-in attempt
Password change for your Yahoo account
Two-step verification activated for your account

dalinar

@edwardp I do not know how to access the spam folder for individual accounts in vivaldi. But it definitely doesn't go into the spam folder in yahoo's web mail for the account, even though it shows up in Vivaldi All Messages Spam

The All Accounts section at the bottom of the panel lists all of your accounts and under the account name you will find the IMAP folders

If Yahoo marked e-mails showing these subjects as spam, then its spam filter is doing its job. If those e-mails showed they came from a Yahoo account, then the sending address was either spoofed, or is fake and Yahoo detected that.

dalinar

@edwardp they are not spoofed or fake, all those emails are actually from yahoo because they describe what i was doing (I was updating passwords and changing authenticators on the yahoo website). It is normal for yahoo to send such emails when you change things.

dalinar

@WildEnte ah I see.. maybe "Bulk" under individual accounts means "Spam"? well it is always empty anyhow, but at least I think I found the individual spam folders. it being empty would make sense (even though the spam messages show up in all messages spam) because in yahoo web mail the spam folder is empty.

EDIT: ah no wait, some of the "Bulk" folders are not empty.. I will check what is webmail for those accounts.

EDIT2: ok yes, it is like this:

Vivaldi Spam All Messages: has spam messages
Vivaldi Individual Account : Bulk: has spam messages
Yahoo WebMail for Account Spam Folder: empty, messages are in their normal non-spam locations

edwardp

@dalinar If you see a Bulk folder for a Yahoo account (I see them for AOL.), that would be an equivalent to a Spam folder.

If this is normal, then I don't know why Yahoo seems to be marking them as spam.
